Series devlink: Take care of FWNODE_FLAG_NOT_DEVICE in case of DT overlays |

Commit Message

  Since commit 1a50d9403fb9 ("treewide: Fix probing of devices in DT
overlays"), when using device-tree overlays, the FWNODE_FLAG_NOT_DEVICE
is set on each overlay nodes. This flag is cleared when a struct device
is actually created for the DT node.
Also, when a device is created, the device DT node is parsed for known
phandle and devlinks consumer/supplier links are created between the
device (consumer) and the devices referenced by phandles (suppliers).
As these supplier device can have a struct device not already created,
the FWNODE_FLAG_NOT_DEVICE can be set for suppliers and leads the
devlink supplier point to the device's parent instead of the device
itself.

Avoid this situation clearing the supplier FWNODE_FLAG_NOT_DEVICE just
before the devlink creation if a device is supposed to be created and
handled later in the process.

Nack.

of_link_to_phandle() doesn't care about any of the fwnode flags. It
just creates links between the consumer and supplier nodes. Don't add
more intelligence into it please. Also, "compatible" doesn't really
guarantee device creation and you can have devices created out of
nodes with no compatible property. I finally managed to get away from
looking for the "compatible" property. So, let's not add back a
dependency on that property please.

Can you please give a real example where you are hitting this? I have
some thoughts on solutions, but I want to understand the issue fully
before I make suggestions.

Thanks,
Saravana

I detected the issue with this overlay:
--- 8< ---
&{/}
{
	reg_dock_sys_3v3: regulator-dock-sys-3v3 {
		compatible = "regulator-fixed";
		regulator-name = "DOCK_SYS_3V3";
		regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>;
		regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>;
		gpios = <&tca6424_dock_1 5 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; // DOCK_SYS3V3_EN
		enable-active-high;
		regulator-always-on;
	};
};

&i2c5 {
	tca6424_dock_1: gpio@22 {
		compatible = "ti,tca6424";
		reg = <0x22>;
		gpio-controller;
		#gpio-cells = <2>;
		interrupt-parent = <&gpio4>;
		interrupts = <1 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
		interrupt-controller;
		#interrupt-cells = <2>;
		vcc-supply = <&reg_dock_ctrl_3v3>;
	};
};
--- 8< ---

The regulator uses a gpio.
The supplier for the regulator was not the gpio chip (gpio@22) but the i2c bus.

I first tried to clear always the flag in of_link_to_phandle() without any check
to a "compatible" string and in that case, I broke pinctrl.

All devices were waiting for the pinctrl they used (child of pinctrl device
node) even if the pinctrl driver was bound to the device.

For pinctrl, the DT structure looks like the following:
--- 8< ---
{
	...
	pinctrl@1234 {
		reg = <1234>;
		compatible = "vendor,chip";

		pinctrl_some_device: grp {
			fsl,pins = < ... >;
		};
	};

	some_device@4567 {
		compablile = "foo,bar";
		reg = <4567>;
		pinctrl-names = "default";
		pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_some_device>;
		...
	};
};
--- 8< ---
		
In that case the link related to pinctrl for some_device needs to be to the
'pinctrl_some_device' node parent (i.e. the pinctrl@1234 node).


Best regards,
Hervé
